A new Marist poll has some bad news for NY Governor Kathy Hochul: a majority of New Yorkers don’t want her to run for reelection. Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer took it on the chin as well, as the poll showed his disapproval rating is in the tank and most Empire State voters want him replaced. Here are the ugly numbers: In the survey, conducted of 1,204 adults from April 3-9, 57% of residents statewide said they do not want Hochul to seek reelection [snip] Only 13% of New Yorkers said they strongly approve of how the governor

Comments:

Since when did a 13% approval rating prevent a Democrat from being re-elected?

A “statewide “ poll - of 1,204 people? That’s worthless.

It's amusing that many want the dems to work with Trump, AKA Hitler. How could that be possible? Dems immediately oppose EVERYTHING that Trump says, no matter how idiotic it makes them sound. Any dem who suggests they might want to work with Trump on anything are immediately attacked. This suggests the dems hair-on-fire, 24/7 assault on anything Trump says or does is not playing well with voters, even in solidly liberal states. That's a big problem because that's the ONLY strategy the dems seem to have. Jasmine Crockett just said that "that Democrats don’t “have time” to convince voters of their “position”". This implies they don't have a position and their only strategy is that "We hate Trump!". The polls are suggesting that the voters will not be too impressed by this. More and more it seems like the dems are going to go into the midterms with the same strategy that got them trounced in the 25 general election. Meanwhile Trump is busy being successful and by Nov 2026 it is likely his policies will have born rich fruit, leaving Trump even stronger. THEN what will the dems do?

Actually, #1, a legit poll of 1,024 people, assuming actual random selection of the people polled (iffy) will generate an expected error margin of around 2% with a 99% confidence level. This assumes a perfect normal distribution (bell curve) and a truly random sample. Both of those are difficult to be certain of, so the more likely case is perhaps a 4% margin of error. 1024 is a pretty decent sample size, purely from the statistical side.

I think NY state is beyond being able to correct the money and fraud of the NYC, Buffalo, Rochester and Albany ratfest. We need a federal investigation and a serious effort from the RNC, which hasn't lifted a finger since Rocky was gov. There are hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars at stake, as well as a lot of political influence. The money and power criminally controlled by NY rats affects the nation, and the nation needs to motivate a complete audit of voter fraud and corruption that the rats have in NY.

IIRC, Hillary won only 6 counties in New York to become Senator. Hochul and Schumer will follow suit, and each will win by over a million votes.

An activist group supporting Karmelo Anthony, who is accused of murdering fellow teenager Austin Metcalf at a Texas track meet, posted a bizarre POV-style video on social media showing their security team escorting the alleged killer from jail after he made bond. In the clip posted by the Next Generation Action Network (NGAN), a member of the organization’s security team shakes the teen’s hand and tells him to “get behind us” and “just stay close” as they walk past the media while leaving the Collin County Jail.[snip] “This is what Team NGAN looks like.

Why Do Leftists Still Love Masks? 15 replies
Posted by mc squared 4/15/2025 10:44:11 AM Post Reply
On March 24, anti-Jewish protesters showed up at Columbia University chanting, “Long live the intifada.” Many were wearing masks, and speakers urged students to follow suit. But wearing a mask while protesting has been illegal in New York City since 1845. It was later used to combat the Ku Klux Klan. Today, it is invoked to combat supporters of left-wing pro-Hamas terrorists. It is easy to understand why the pro-Hamas gang likes to wear a mask: they want to conceal their identity from the police. But what explains why those on the left are fond of wearing a mask for alleged health reasons?

You know, after what happened to Bud Light, and after Donald Trump's resounding election victory in November, one would think woketivists in corporate America would want to dial it down a bit if for no other reason than to spare their colleagues the humiliation that comes from the pushback that inevitably ensues.

Hours before Trump announced his pause on tariffs, he posted a clear signal to everybody that it was a great time to buy stocks. The market was way down and didn't pop for hours, and when he dropped his official announcement that he would be pausing tariffs on all countries but China, the market went nuts, and a lot of money was made. Out of this set of facts the Democrats have concocted the most bizarre conspiracy theory in the world so far. It is so convoluted, so bizarre, and so implausible that "NASA faked the moon landing with Stanley Kubrick" sounds pretty rational and easy to accomplish.

Democrats love to portray themselves as the compassionate ones. They just want to help people, especially the poor and downtrodden. When you ask them about illegal immigration, they will tell you that these are just poor people looking for a better life for themselves and their families. That's why they were perfectly okay with a wide-open southern border and letting millions of people into the country. It was all about compassion. However, as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continues to dig into the twisted story of America's finances, we are finding out that the compassion ruse is just that, another Democrat party scheme.

The 60,000 contested ballots in the North Carolina state Supreme Court race should be recounted and verified, according to a ruling Friday from a panel of the state appeals court. The 2-1 ruling is a win for Republican state Court of Appeals Judge Jefferson Griffin, who is trailing incumbent Democratic Justice Allison Riggs by fewer than 1,000 votes. Riggs and the Democratic Party declared victory months ago after all the votes counted had her ahead, but Griffin has challenged the validity of certain ballots for various reasons, pursuing a lawsuit that’s prevented the state elections board from certifying Riggs as the winner five months after Election Day.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) signed new controls into law last week, including one that allows credit cards to track ammunition purchases. She described the ammunition control as one that “[refines] how credit card companies track purchases at gun dealerships.” Hochul noted, “This gives law enforcement the opportunity to find out exactly who may be stockpiling ammunition. And this is an indicator that something untoward could be happening, so it’s an important data point for us to have.” North Country Now pointed out the credit card tracking will occur via the use of a new merchant code,

Karmelo Anthony, 17, is holed up with his family at the pricey home inside the gated community of Richwoods in Frisco, Texas, after he was released from jail Monday on a reduced $250,000 bond for allegedly killing Austin Metcalf earlier this month, the Daily Mail reported.

The left-wing magazine highlighted new research, originally published by The Guardian, that concluded dogs have "extensive and multifarious" environmental impacts, disturbing wildlife, polluting waterways and contributing to carbon emissions. It pinpointed how canines are disturbing native wildlife, particularly shore birds.

Some calls are also from parents whose children are being subjected to medical procedures in response to alleged gender dysmorphia, which the Trump administration has referred to as “child sexual mutilation” and vowed to eradicate.
